  • Well-maintained and peaceful park set alongside the River Cam
  • Many country walks nearby
  • Pub site with beer garden
Hurrah, a pub site! And what a nicely named – and nicely placed – one too. Picture this, pub site peeps: Riverside Caravan Park at The George is a peaceful, popular and very friendly park set along the wildlife haven of Gloucestershire's River Cam, with its own old-style family inn serving up home-cooked local nosh and traditional ales and ciders at decent prices (it should also certainly be mentioned that The George has its own steakhouse section and regular steak nights). The park – and pub – is an easy ten minutes from the M5, making it a peachy place to use as a base for exploring Gloucestershire or as a stopover on the way to or from Cornwall and the southwest, and close to countryside walks passing along the river to snap otters, kingfishers, swans and other wildfowl on the smartphone. There's easy access to the A38 to get to other Gloucestershire highlights, like 16 miles of coarse fishing on the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal within three miles and the Forest of Dean eight miles away. And it should certainly also be mentioned that The George has a large beer garden, with plenty of benches for riverside relaxing and looking for those otters and swans… The amenities are roomy and well-maintained and include a family-friendly shower block with easy access, a loo and shower accessible to disabled guests, washing-up facilities in the main shower block, a washing machine and a children's playground.

What customers say

A tidy, tranquil park with helpful staff. Spacious, private pitches, some by the river. Excellent individual bathrooms. Handy pub. Easy M5 access for stopovers, though some road noise. Great for families, especially the playground.

Liked Very friendly staff on gate / reception. Pitch sizes okay

Disliked Porta loos for those further away from toilet / shower block.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I just want to confirm the porter loos are temporary due to no water on site last week, there are 2 toilets further down where the grey waste and elsan point is which are fully functioning (in the middle of the site)

Liked Welcomed on arrival. Full explanation that there had been a burst water main. No water on site given choice to use another sister site. Decided to stay . Very glad I did. Lovely peaceful site near river . Water was provided and porta loos .
There is very Nice walk for the dog.
Had a decent size pitch and grass to side and behind. Benches also close by . Able to hook up electric.
Pub was not doing food due to water issues. But serving drinks. Very nice pub garden .

Disliked Was not easy to get to electric point. But this was trimmed later in day .
I was sad no pub food was available but this was no one fault .

Clean and well kept with good facilities. Friendly service both on the campsite and in the adjoining pub.
Beautifully peaceful pith right on the riverside. Each pitch has it's own picnic bench and mature hedges give privacy.

Liked Everything, lovely little site, staff greeted us with a smile. Pitch was so nice, partly shaded next to river it was quiet and private. Walked to pub for a meal, 2 mins as in grounds, they had a singer outside, lovely meal. We had Carvery and a chicken salad. Dog was welcome. Plenty of space and seating outside with umbrellas. Toilets and showers were clean and spacious. Overall a really nice site. Would definitely come back

Disliked Nothing, not a sausage, it was all great

Liked Love the good sized pitch with all the privacy hedges . Good toilet block , just a bit warm in this hot weather , the extra toilet block was very handy . Loved the pub, don’t believe some of the reviews the food was excellent and the staff were brilliant . The warden was very accommodating, we arrived a lot earlier than expected but she was great .

Disliked Need to think about fully served pitches , with individual water and drainage to suit modern vans (I know that’s a lot of cost but it’s the way vans are developing)

Local attractions

Use this place as a base to get to the best of Gloucestershire and its surrounds, whether you want countryside or city days in the likes of Bristol, Cheltenham and Bath. (It's a safe bet you'd like a day at Cheltenham Racecourse, 20 miles away, too.) Two miles away, the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust's Slimbridge reserve gives juicy chances to see resident ducks, swans and thousands of migratory birds alongside stacks of events like otter feeds, guided walks and canoe safaris. If it's more greenery you're after, several excellent options are an easy drive away: the 22-acre village green at Frampton on Severn, said to be the longest in England, within a five-mile drive; scenic strolls along the River Severn, within four miles; the National Trust's Westbury Court Gardens, seven miles away, and Stroud's hidden valley Painswick Rococo garden eight miles away (be sure to see the snowdrops if you're there in season). Also recommended by the team are Gloucester Docks and the National Waterways Museum, ten miles away; Woodchester Mansion, an odd and unfinished country house surrounded by National Trust parkland (four and half miles), and 11th-century Berkeley Castle (five miles), thought to be the place where poor old Edward Two saw his last day.
